Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 1 medium (grated) zucchini
- 0.5 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and smooth (about 2 minutes).
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until combined.
Gently fold in the grated zucchini, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips and dried cranberries.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve these intergalactic zucchini cookies as an out-of-this-world snack! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
